CROCHET RETICELLA LACE (fig. 471).--This pattern, copied in crochet
from an old piece of Reticella lace, only looks well, worked in very
fine cotton, as indicated in our illustration, namely, in unbleached Fil
a dentelle D.M.C No 150. To make it resemble the original more closely,
the method adopted in Venetian point, of making all the stitches over a
padding thread, has, in the case of the outside edge, been followed
here.

At the end of each row of plain stitches, draw out a sufficiently long
loop to lay it back over the stitches just made, and to work the next
row of stitches over this double foundation. These loops must be long
enough, not to pucker or tighten the scallops.

For the inner squares = 4 chain, close the ring.

1st row--8 chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 double treble, 3 chain, 1 treble,
3 chain, 1 double treble, 3 chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 double treble, 3
chain, 1 treble, 3 chain, 1 single stit
